Cibulkova had her best year in her career despite being ranked as low as No.66 in the rankings in February after returning from an Achilles injury that forced her out of action for a long period of time. She won 4 titles, including the WTA Finals, her biggest title of her career, to rise to No.5 in the rankings and end the year at that position.


The highlight of Cibulkova’s season is definitely winning the WTA Finals in Singapore despite losing 2 matches in the Round Robin. She made an improbable comeback in the final set against Kuznetsova, and strolled to the title after she defeated World No.1 Angelique Kerber in straight sets.
